3 transformation tropes — and what each one can say beneath the surface. 🧵

Writers, keep going.

Ignore the negative words, whether it is harsh self-talk or clueless family/friends. Just. Keep. Going.

Every genre has its magic: the slow burn in romance, the twist in a thriller, the world-building in fantasy. 📖 I'm always curious what draws writers to the stories they tell.

What genre are you writing right now, and what do you love most about it?

It’s been one of those weeks. I only revised three pages in my wip, but I’m happy with the changes I made. So, I’ll still count this as progress.

Dear Writers,

Tell me about your current manuscript, but don't tell me the plot.

Instead, tell me what you're finding hardest to write right now.

I'm always interested in hearing about the challenges behind the stories.

A transformation scene feels earned when the story has already begun changing the character before the body catches up.

Foreshadow the fear. The desire. The loss of control. The temptation.
Then the physical change becomes a payoff instead of a special effect.

Surprise after the storm. Wondered why a Rose of Sharon flower in veggie garden. A closer look shows an okra flower with creamy yellow petals and deep maroon center. Must have been others bc we've eaten six okra by now. Turns out two plants come from same family as hibiscus. #writersofbluesky
